Oversized Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 'Within the canon of European photography books it would be difficult to find one more famous, revered and influential as Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment,' wrote Jeffrey Ladd in Time LightBox, in a feature on Steidl's new edition of this ultimate photobook classic. Originally published in 1952, this collection of Cartier-Bresson's best work from his early years was embellished with a collage cover by Henri Matisse. The book has since influenced generations of photographers, while its English title defined the notion of the famous peak in which all elements in the photographic frame accumulate to form the perfect image--not the moment of the height of the action, necessarily, but the formal, visual peak. This new publication--the first and only reprint since the original 1952 edition--is a meticulous facsimile of the original book that launched the artist to international fame, with an additional booklet on the history of The Decisive Moment by Centre Pompidou curator Clément Chéroux.Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was born in Chantelou-en-Brie, France. He initially studied painting and began photographing in the 1930s. Cartier-Bresson cofounded Magnum in 1947. In the late 1960s he returned to his original passion, drawing. In 2003 Cartier-Bresson established the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, one year before his death. Large hardcover in jacket, housed in slipcase with staple-bound volume 'A Bible for Photographers' by Clement Cheroux.

Hardcover. Very Good in Good DJ: The Book shows indications of careful use: moderate shelving wear to the lower extremities, wit scant exposure of the underlying board at the heel of the backstrip and lower corner tips; faint coffee stains at the bottom edge of the text block (these penetrate about a quarter inch at the bottom edge of the front free endpaper and along the bottom edge of the front panel) and the bottom of the fore-edge; a small, peculiar stain at the top edge of the text block (perhaps caused by an insect); a couple of thin lines of oily residue at the outside edge of the front and rear free endpapers; the binding remains square and quite secure; the text clean.
